The Hatters sit top of the League Two table but, with City having two games in hand on them and sitting nine points behind, this afternoon's game is an important one.

City go into the game on the back of a three-game winning run in the league, having beaten fellow promotion candidates Coventry City and Notts County before overcoming Forest Green Rovers 2-0 on Wednesday evening.

There has been a short turnaround before this trip to Kenilworth Road and Grecians boss Paul Tisdale has said he will run the rule over some of his players' fitness before the trip, with Ryan Harley being taken off at half-time on Wednesday night as a precaution.

Key Events

Full-time

The Grecians put up a battle but are unable to find a way back into the contest. Match report and reaction online shortly.

16:52

Over!

Boateng fires over from long range - I think that might be it.

16:50

Saved

Boateng’s ball in is cleared to Wilson, who tries to play it back into the box but it bounces through to Stech.

16:49

Free-kick

McAlinden is fouled on the wing - all the big men go forward for City.

16:49

Added time

Three minutes - will there be a final chance for City?

16:48

Attendance

8,788 (464 away)

16:45

Disallowed goal!

City have the ball in the net - Simpson charges onto Stockley’s flick on and tries to win the ball, wiping out Stech, and McAlinden turns the loose ball home, only for the assistant to flag for the foul on the keeper. The ref wasn’t going to give that, so it’s a controversial one.

16:43

City sub

Kyle Edwards is replaced by Robbie Simpson.

16:41

Luton sub

Harry Cornick is replaced by Lloyd Jones. It’s an attacker off and a defender on.

16:40

Corner

Luton win a corner as Dean Moxey puts in a tackle on the wing.

16:37

Just wide!

James Collins curls a speculative effort across goal just wide. It would have been a fantastic goal.

16:34

Luton sub

Danny Hylton replaces Jake Jervis.

16:34

Throw-in

McAlinden chases down a flick-on from Stockley, with Stech sprinting out of his goal to clear.

16:31

Grecians go 3-5-2

When I travelled up today, I didn’t expect I’d be seeing Kane Wilson, Jordan Storey and Dean Moxey as a back three. Lee Holmes and Kyle Edwards are on the wing.

16:29

City sub

Liam McAlinden replaces Danny Seaborne - will be interesting to see how the Grecians set up now.

16:26

Corner

Jervis’ cross is blocked and goes behind for another corner to Luton. City are seeing more of the ball in the Luton half but they’re having to be wary of committing men forward with the way Luton are looking in attack.

16:24

Wide

Cornick cuts inside from the wing and puts a low shot just wide of the near post.

16:22

Another corner

Luton finding plenty of joy on the left wing - they win a corner as Harry Cornick’s ball in is blocked.

16:18

Corner

Luton just keep attacking here - Jervis buys a corner off the legs of Kane Wilson.

16:15

Blocked!

Olly Lee breaks into the box and has a shot well blocked by Seaborne.

16:13

City sub

Lloyd James is replaced by Lee Holmes.

16:08

Wide!

Jake Jervis fires wide from 20 yards.

16:08

Free-kick

A good ball into the box finds Stockley, who rather bizarrely is penalised in an aerial battle.

16:04

Second half

Apologies for the complete silence during the break - the internet signal went down for the entirety of half-time. The second half is now under way and it seems to be working again.

15:47

Half-time

1-0 to Luton. Stay tuned for ratings and analysis during the break.

15:46

Free-kick

Finally Jayden Stockley gets something out of the referee - he’s hauled down by Sheehan on halfway and it’s a free-kick to City.

15:44

Free-kick

Lloyd James is felled by Olly Lee on the edge of the City box.

15:40

Saved!

Luton immediately back on the attack and Olly Lee stings the palms of Pym with a long-range effort.

15:39KEY EVENT

GOAL! Luton take the lead in the 38th minute

How unlucky for City! Dan Potts gets the ball on the wing and plays it inside to Harry Cornick, who curls an effort at goal from the edge of the box - it deflects off Storey and flies into the top corner with Pym stranded!
